E3 2016: WB Games President on Whether More Arkham-Style DC Comics Games Are Possible

Batman has starred in four Arkham games in recent years while a host of DC Comics heroes and villains have recently come to blows in Injustice: Gods Among Us and its upcoming sequel, but is there room for more DC Comics characters to take the spotlight in their own games?

"DC is an enormous priority for our entire company, and we're thrilled that games can really support franchise building at almost the same level as movies and television can," WB Games President David Haddad said in an interview with IGN.

So while WB Games has nothing to announce at this time, DC's importance to all facets of WB is evident outside of games in the DC Comics cinematic universe kicking off with this year's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. But don't expect WB Games to necessarily choose which characters could be suited to future titles because of that film slate.

"We get asked that question, 'Are you making movie games?' And that is so far from the way that we approach the business and the industry," Haddad said. "Fundamentally, these things have to work as great games and great game franchises."

Haddad declined to comment on whether any of WB's other studios are working on DC-related properties but did note that its teams, which include Batman: Arkham Origins developer WB Montreal and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor studio Monolith Productions, are all hard at work.

"All of our internally owned console studios are very busy on their next projects," Haddad said.

DC Comics fans can get their fix with the upcoming Injustice 2 and Batman: Arkham VR, Rocksteady Studios' latest foray into the world of the dark knight, and even Lego Dimensions, which is set to debut the Teen Titans in its second year of content packs.
